This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Nollamara has an estimated 14,337 residents, up from 12,779 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,558 people, or 12.2%. Growth has averaged 1.7% a year over five years, faster than 77% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 67.0% of that increase. That puts 3,844 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS population updates with post-Census address validations, the suburb of Nollamara has reached an estimated population of 14,337 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 1,558 people (12.2%) compared to the 12,779 people documented in the 2021 Census. Such growth builds upon an estimated resident population of 14,271 determined from the ABS June 2025 ERP release alongside 77 validated new addresses identified following the Census. With 3,843 persons per square kilometer, residential density in the suburb of Nollamara sits within the upper 10% nationwide, placing local land at a significant premium.
The 12.2% expansion recorded since the 2021 census outpaced the 9.5% national benchmark, establishing the suburb of Nollamara as a regional growth frontrunner where overseas migration served as the primary catalyst by generating approximately 67.0% of total recent gains. Utilising 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections anchored to 2022, supplemented by ABS 2023 Greater Capital Region cohort rates based on 2022 data for outer years post-2032 or unlisted zones, long-term projections point to above-median demographic expansion for the suburb of Nollamara. Looking ahead to 2041, aggregated SA2 figures anticipate the community expanding by 2,110 persons, culminating in an overall 14.3% increase across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
311 new dwellings have been approved in Nollamara over the past five years, an average of 62 a year. That places the area in the 81st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 55 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 49% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 66, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Analysis of statistical building approvals by AreaSearch shows that Nollamara averages approximately 62 approved residential dwellings each year, generating an estimated 311 homes across the prior 5 financial years, with 66 approvals lodged to date in FY-25. Across FY-21 to FY-25, an incoming average of 4.2 people per year arrived for each newly constructed home, creating a pronounced supply deficit that typically accelerates buyer competition and property values. Meanwhile, an average construction value of $341,000 per dwelling—tracking lower than regional averages—provides relatively budget-friendly housing opportunities, while $1.8 million in commercial approvals logged this financial year underscores the suburb's primarily residential profile.
Per-capita building volumes in Nollamara mirror broader trends across Greater Perth, ensuring regional-level stability even amid an uptick in recent construction. Recent building activity is divided between 49.0% detached houses and 51.0% attached dwellings, offering accessible price points that cater well to first-time buyers, downsizers, and property investors. A ratio of around 202 people per dwelling approval reflects an evolving property market. Based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, demographic modelling forecasts an influx of 2,044 residents into Nollamara by 2041. While ongoing residential construction maintains a reasonable pace relative to future demand, incoming population expansion may heighten competition among purchasers.

City of Stirling Underground Power Program - Yokine and Surrounding Suburbs
Western Power, in partnership with the City of Stirling, is progressively converting overhead distribution powerlines to underground power across Yokine and surrounding suburbs in Perth's inner north. The works are delivered under Western Power's Targeted Underground Power Program (TUPP) and the earlier Network Renewal Undergrounding Program Pilot (NRUPP), both of which prioritise areas with a high density of ageing overhead assets approaching end of service life. Active project areas immediately adjoining Yokine include North Perth/Mount Hawthorn (Western Power Project 343, which extends into Joondanna and is due for completion towards the end of 2026) and the Osborne Park/Tuart Hill/Joondanna/Stirling TUPP project, which commenced construction in mid to late 2025.Further City of Stirling project areas covering parts of Inglewood, Tuart Hill and Balcatta are earmarked for later delivery, with construction commencement dates still to be confirmed. Typical scope per project area includes removal of timber poles and overhead conductor, installation of underground cable, ground mounted primary equipment sites housing transformers and switchgear, and replacement of existing streetlights with new energy efficient LED luminaires. Benefits include improved supply reliability and public safety, reduced network maintenance cost, greater capacity for rooftop solar and electric vehicle charging, cleaner streetscapes and unimpeded street tree canopy growth. Project costs are shared between the State Government, Western Power, the City of Stirling and property owners, with the State contribution tiered according to socio-economic indicators and residential connection charges invoiced by the City. Statewide, around 108,000 properties have been converted since 1996, with a further 29,000 properties targeted by 2027.

8,321 residents of Nollamara are employed, from a labour force of 8,798. Unemployment sits at 5.4%, with participation at 73.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 10,284, about 72% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Workforce analysis from AreaSearch reveals an educated local talent pool across varied sectors in Nollamara, characterised by a 5.4% unemployment rate and annual job growth estimated at 2.9%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 8,321, alongside an unemployment rate tracking 1.2% higher than the 4.2% recorded across Greater Perth. Labour force participation stood at 73.2%, compared to 69.9% across Greater Perth, while 5.6% of workers reported working from home at the Census, a figure subject to prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Local workers are primarily concentrated in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and accommodation & food services.
Conversely, the mining sector accounts for only 4.9% of resident employment, trailing the 7.0% proportion seen across Greater Perth. Census comparisons between working-age residents and local workplace jobs confirm that the suburb functions predominantly as a residential base with relatively few internal employment hubs. Synthesised ABS and SALM statistical data shows that across the twelve months to March 2026, Nollamara registered a 2.9% rise in employment alongside a 2.8% expansion in its labour force, keeping local unemployment steady; by comparison, Greater Perth experienced 2.0% employment growth and a 2.5% labour force increase, yielding a 0.4 percentage point uptick. Assessing local sectoral distribution against Mar-26 national projections from Jobs and Skills Australia—which forecast overall employment gains of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years—indicates Nollamara's workforce should mirror these national expansions with 6.6% growth over five years and 13.7% over ten years (calculated via weighted industry extrapolation without local demographic adjustments).

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 77 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (12,779 at the 2021 Census → 14,337 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to Aug 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL51122). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
